The ARGENTINE REPUBLIC.
Wages and Living in Bucnos Ayres.

San Francisco Chr onic g.
There is no middle class" III the Ar.
gentine Republic. Society is composed
of those wealthy enough to refrain from
manual labor aud working people. Wages
as q rule are low, and the cost of living is
as high as in the United States, and not
half so good. In the "camps" poems en-
gagged in herding are paid from 80 to S12
per month; and are supplied with meat
and matte. Should they wish to vary
this diet it must be done at their own ex-
pense. Few care to do so. Matte Is a
peculiar herb grown IN Paraguay, and is
the national beverage of the country. 1t
is dried, powder and stepped in hot water
and used as tea. It possesses consider
able stimulating powers, and enormous
quantities are consumed.
Skilled labor does not command high
wages. Locomotive drivers receive from
$50 to S75 n month; guards or conductors
$40; good mechanics average $3.50 a day.
When the value of Argentine money is
reckoned, these are low wages. A con
slant speculation in gold Is carried on,
and the value of national money con
stantly fuctuates.
Certain profession are well paid Den
fists, photographers, civil engineers and
school teachers find occupation and make
money. A labor,ng man entering the re-
public finds himself thrown into competi
ton with the hungry hordes of the old
world, and must accustom himself TO
strict economy and hard living to get
along. The Italians employed on the
streets or in public works are paid $I25
day. This is the rate for ordinary labor
4, nj 40
not steadily employed, $3.50 and board /;
clerks from $50 to $40 per month. A
knowledge OF Spanish is absolutely re-
quired OF the latter.
The country maintains q standing army
of $1,000 men, and has good navy, com
prising several powerful armored ships
Military distinction is eagerly sought,
and the sons of rich families enter the
service. 1t is not unusual TO see boys of
II and 10 years wearing officers uni
forms. English, Germans and French
are found among the officers. The total
population Of the country is estimated at
100000.
House rent is excessively high, and city
property held at eXorbitant figures. Camp
lands for grazing purposes in remote
districts sell from $4,000 to $4,000 per
square league. The country is generally
level from the coast line back to the
Andes. The average rise in altitude is
tour inches to the mile. This is the re-
gion Of the pampas, vast treeless plains
covered with grasses and comprising rich
soils.
twenty-five foreign steamship lines
touch at Buenos Ayres, ana thousands of
immigrants are landed yearly. Fast and
well equipped river boats navigate the
Uruguay, Pa-ana aud Platte rivers.
There are ESQ distilleries now ia ectiye
operation in this country. They turn
ont 100000 gallons OF whiskey daily, using
for that purpose $4,000 bushels corn
and 900 bushels of molasses.

AMERICAN GIRLS.
Some VINO Have Married Into the reerage OF
Great Britain.


Tendon Letter
1t has been said that every American
girl who comes to England expects TO
afix Lady" to her name and generally
succeeds in securing the husband who
will realize that hope. II is true that a
great many Englishmen have welded
Americans, but they have not all borne
TITLES, and our fair, ambitious transatlan
tic sisters should be warned that coronets
have nos dropped very plentiful as yet on
their republican brows. Only very few
American girls have married peers, sons
of peers, or even baronets. OF the
former there are only two, the Mar
chiones9 of Anglesea, who was a Miss
King of Georgia, became Mrs. Wode-
house, and married her present husband
in 1880, and the daughter OF Colonel
Kirby, who married Baron Fairfax in
1857. His father, who died before com
ing into the title, had married a Miss
Snowden, of Maryland, and his elder
brother, to whom he succeeded, Miss
Benham, of Ohio. son of Lord Alfred
Paget, of the Anglesea family, has an
American wife, Miss Stevens, of New
York, but she has not and never will have
a title. Viscount Vaudeville, son and
heir of the Duke of Manchester, married,
in 1876, Miss Yznaga, of Louisiana, whose
sister four years later became Lady
John ListerKaye a barorets wife. Al
lied to the peerage, and having taken to
themselves American wives, are Sir
Francis Richard Plunkett, cousin of the
Earl of Fingall who was welded in 1870
to Miss Morgan, of Philadelphia; the
Hon. Hugh Oliver Northcote. son Of the
Earl of Iddesleigh to Miss Fish, of New
York; the Hon. and Rev. James Went
worth Leigh, brother Of Baron Leigh to
Miss Butler, OF Georgia.

pany with a candidate. attended
the annual meeting at Carriers
Creek church, on Saturday and
Sunday last, On account of some
accident, the pastor did not ar
rive in time for preaching, on
Saturday. but there was an in
teresting prayer meeting, con
Quoted by Mr.. i. S. Turnipseed.
On Sunday morning at . o clock,
quite a crowd gathered to witness
the exercises of the children, that
day being set apart as "ChiIdren's :
Day" There were some pretty
recitations and dialogues, by some
bright boys and girls, and ap-
propriatc Bible readings by the
pastor and advanced Sunday
School pupils 4 collection was
taken up for the purpose of ex-
tending Sunday School ard Bible
work, after which the congrega-
ton was dismissed until the hour
for preaching.
At II O'Clock, despite the
threatening looks of the clouds, a
crowd Of about seven hundred
people had gathered in and about
the building, to attend the in-
.tial service Of this annual meet
ing.
The pastor, Rev. r. n. Hall,
so well known as an able preach
er, entertained his congregation
with a PLAN, practical sermon on
the duties of church members aud
Christians in preparing for a
meeting of this kind, and on
Christian duties generally. He
touched upon the necessity of the
people selecting pure and moral
men to fill places Of public trust,
not wishing, he said, TO make a
political speech, but to instruct
his people as to their duties as
Christian citizens.
From what this writer saw, tho
pastors sermon seemed to have
left a deep impression with his
people, and this meeting will be
one of great good to that church
and community, and to the coun-
Try at large.
The crop prospects in that sec
tion are good. Corn was never
better, and Gotten is looking well
and from all appearances the peo'
pie are prosperous and contented

THE BATTLE FLAG FURRY.

The proposition of the Secre-
tary of War to return to the
Southern States some forty battle
flags captured in various ways
during the war, gave occasion to
the bloody shirt clement at the
North to raise fierce howl. The
eommander-in-ehlef Of the Grand
Army OF the Republic, Gen. Lu-
cius Fairchild, led off red-eyed
with a blood and thunder procla-
nation that reminded the country
that he and other patriots like
him, are still depending upon the
war for their stock in trade. The
war not only yields pension to
the disabled veterans who are
Justly entitled TO it, but to the
ablc-bodicd camp followers as
we'll. II also helps to boom
many a hero into office; hence il
is in order now and then to revive
the dying embsrs Of the conflict.
1t is quite possible, however, to
run the best of things into the
ground, and the generation who
were too young to be IN the army
are getting the notion into their
heads that The country has not
